Veracruz recruits single applicants for Guardia Nacional

The Secretaría de la Defensa Nacional opened a recruitment module in downtown Veracruz to enlist single Mexican citizens aged 18 to 30 into the Guardia Nacional. Applicants must present a CURP, voter ID, proof of address, education certificate, military service card, birth certificate, electronic signature, tax ID, and a clean criminal record. Additional personal criteria include being unmarried and not cohabiting, a body‑mass index between 18.5 and 27.9, no tattoos, and a minimum height of 1.63 m for men or 1.55 m for women.

The Guardia Nacional, created in 2019 to replace the Federal Police, operates across Mexico, conducting road patrols and supporting operations in high‑crime areas. The Veracruz drive also directs interested candidates to the 111th Infantry Battalion in Perote and provides a contact phone number (228 51 62 508) for further information. The recruitment effort is presented as a stable employment opportunity for local youth seeking a career in public security.
